Hello! My name is Monica, I am 27 years old, and working with children is my passion. I absolutely love it! In the past, I have nannied and babysat for four families with children ages 1, 3, 4, 5, and an infant of 9 months. I have also been a substitute teacher for elementary and middle schools, and worked as a summer camp counselor for three summers. In my spare time I love to dance, spend time in nature, read and make art. In addition, I received certification under a RIE Nurturing Nanny online course that taught me so much about respectful caregiving. Thank you for reading!

Well, I'm a mother myself, I am kind of a natural at caring for kids. I've worked as a nanny in the past, for 2 years professionally. I have been babysitting here and there for about 20 years. My child is much older now, and I find it a treat to care for little ones again. I'm very easy going, patient, and a creative problem solver. I find enormous value in reading with children and helping them learn, and I love to make these things fun for them.

Hi! I am 21 years old and currently in college studying child development. I have been babysitting for as long as I can remember and have always loved being around kids. Along with my many years of babysitting, I was also a gymnastics coach, where I coached kids of all ages for a few years. I also was involved with church groups and VBS (vacation bible school) where I led groups. I recently moved to Colorado but grew up in California. I am a certified Early childhood teacher, and I currently work as an infant teacher where I care for 5-8 infants daily at a local daycare facility. I am mainly looking for weekend jobs, as I work Monday through Friday and would have to correlate times after work. I would say I have excellent age appropriate skills and know how to handle kids very well. I am first aid, cpr, early childhood teacher, safe sleep training, AND gymnastics coach certified! I also hold a certification in all of the PDIS trainings. If I had to describe myself in a few words, I would say I’m responsible, empathetic, creative, and loving.

Hi parents! I’m a nurturing, reliable, and fun babysitter who truly enjoys spending time with kids of all ages. I truly love children, and have been watching little ones since my own teenage years. I have a degree in psychology and spent two seasons working at an outdoor nature school with kids of all ages. I've studied child psychology and the Nurtured Heart approach. I love reading stories, doing crafts, outdoor activities, and helping kids explore their creativity. Families describe me as calm, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. My goal is always to make your children feel cared for and your life a little easier!

Hi, I’m Zoie! I absolutely love spending time with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have fun. Babysitting has been a part of my life since I was 12, and over the years I’ve gained valuable experience caring for children of all ages. I’ve also worked as a certified swim instructor for 3 years, giving me the chance to teach kids new skills while ensuring their safety. I am CPR and First Aid certified, as well as medical grade oxygen certified, so safety is always my top priority. Beyond that, I truly enjoy creating a fun, active, and supportive environment for kids—whether that means playing sports, swimming, exploring outdoors, or just spending time learning and being creative together. My husband and I are currently in the process of becoming foster parents, which reflects how deeply I value caring for and supporting children. Along with childcare, I’m also happy to help with cooking, light cleaning, and keeping routines running smoothly for your family. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and energetic, I’d love the opportunity to help care for your little ones!

I truly love being a babysitter because caring for children has always come naturally to me and brings me a lot of joy. I genuinely enjoy their inquisitive fun and imaginative minds and I love being someone they feel safe, comfortable, and happy around. I have been babysitting and nannying on and off since I was about 15 years old, and over years that experience has grown into a career that centered around caregiving. I have over 10 years of experience also working as a CNA and caregiver, including extensive hands-on experience, supporting individuals with special needs, including autism. This background has helped me develop patience, strong communication skills, and the ability to adapt to each child’s unique needs. Families often describe me as a caring, trustworthy, and intuitive - someone who treats their children with care and respect.
